Question: if i had unprotected sex and had my periods a week later , does that mean i am not pregnant?

Brief Answer:
Possibility of pregnancy depends on your length of menstrual cycle.

Detailed Answer:
Hi Saurabhmane1934,
Thanks for the query .I understand your concern.
Unprotected sex around ovulation only can cause pregnancy. Ovulation day is 14 days prior to expected day of menstruation.
Now, two things are possible...you had sex one week before the expected day of periods&you got periods on time (that is one week after the sex.)In this case you are not pregnant.
But if you have long menstrual cycle of 33-37 days... then you had the sex nearing ovulation & pregnancy is possible in such case.The bleeding you had after one week of sex was implantation bleeding.
I hope I am clear &you got your answer.If you have doubt, please do not hesitate to ask.your follow up query is welcome.
Thanks.

i had unprotected sex after periods... i mean ,i got periods on 18/11/19 and my bleeding stopped on 4th day that is on 21/11/19 we had sex on 24th of november that is on 7th day... i have taken i pill also after intercourse....but after 24 hours... and also there were no ejaculation inside vagina... but after 6-7 days that is on 30/11/19 i got periods again... so within 15 days i got periods 2 times... today's date is 02/01/2020 so its been more than 30 days already passed. still there is no sign of periods so little bit worried and tensed. i have also taken tablets to get periods on 26th ,27th,28th december...

this is the scenario... now in this case, is there any risk of pregnacy?

Detailed Answer:
Hi saurabhmane19934,
Thanks for the follow up query.
* you had unprotected sex on 7th day of periods.There is v.rare chance of pregnancy on this day.....{. unless you were expecting an earlier menstrual cycle}
* There was no ejaculation in vagina...again reduces chances of pregnancy
* You had taken i pill in 24 hours of sex.The pill prevents pregnancy when taken within 72 hours of sex.This again goes against pregnancy.
**The bleeding you had on 30thNov. was withdrawal bleeding after consuming high power hormones in i pill.
*The menstruation tends to be delayed by 8 days after taking i pill.
-So you were likely to get periods by 26th of December(8 days after 18th of Nov.)...
* Unfortunately you started taking pills for getting periods on 26th of December.These pills are also hormonal pills &they prevented period due on 26th
*So in all of confusion your period had been postponed .** In short if everything goes fine...after the pills finishing on 28th... the periods mostly resumes within 8-10 days of last pill.In short you will get periods by 5th to 7th of January.Please wait for it till then.
I hope that helps you.Any follow up query is welcome.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Yes it seems so

Detailed Answer:
Hi Saurabhmane 19934.
Thanks for the follow up query.
As I have already explained....apparently there is no risk with the sex we are discussing.
Actually I pill acts by postponing ovulation.If you did not have sex in following days&if you have regular 28-30 days cycle there is no risk(that's why I had used the words'if every thing goes well'...
You should wait for periods as said before...you should get period within 8 days of stopping the pills you took for inducing periods....be relaxed & wait till then
Thanks
